Could be. Angular growth has stalled for the past year or so. Polymer is pretty much dead.
OTOH hand why would Google invest in a React-based solution? Google could start from scratch an create the next best thing if they wanted to. To me it's pretty clear the future is a compiler based approach like Svelte, with support for SSR, partial hydration, static generation, and dynamically loading smaller parts of a page (eg: AJAX + hydration). All with a kickass DX.
If Google wanted to takeover React, the solution is at the browser level. Fix rendering and state management with native language built ins, and voila, we are out of the stupid frontend hell.
Wtf is hydration? Is that like when websites used to render json payloads on the page on first render?
This field is getting scammy with its nonsense. Create one more stupid word, and I swear I will lose my god damn mind.
